First of all, if you've turned off the Correct power source it would stop running. Keep trying to find the correct circuit breaker. The power must be discontinued and let the dishwasher sit for at least 5 minutes so it can "forget" the program. However, if the same program comes back on, then I suggest holding down the heavy wash symbol continually for several seconds. Or perhaps holding down the cancel symbol for several seconds instead. It sounds like the heavywash symbol is stuck or broken behind it's cover. If the symbol was "jiggled" alittle to the right or left it may become "unstuck". Hope some of this helps you.

God Bless You and your family,

My name is raza. i have west point washing machine model no 1225tl , Fix error LE is coming. please tell me about this urgent.

An LE error code on the washer's display indicates that the motor is locked, possibly due to a heavy wash load.
Large and heavy sized loads will put a strain on the motor, causing the LE code to occur. Performing a reset on the washer will normally resolve this error.
To reset the washing machine:

Press POWER to turn the washer off
Unplug the washer from the power outlet. If the outlet cannot be reached, turn the circuit breaker to the unit off.
With the power disabled to the washer, press and hold the START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds.
Plug the washer back in, or turn the circuit breaker back on.

The washer should now be reset and the LE code cleared. If washing a heavy or large load, reduce the load size and attempt to restart the cycle.
Note: For your safety and to preserve your warranty, if the issue persists, LG recommends that all repairs are performed by an Authorized Service Center.

My lamona washing machine gets to the P symbol then gets stuck and can't move on even if I try manually. So have to restart rinse cycle then restart spin cycle to finish a wash. Any ideas please? Thank...

Mine does this frequently - there's nothing wrong with the machine - an engineer once said it was something to do with it detecting a heavy load or something like that .... It's really annoying. It's just how it is programmed to respond ????

Hi....f 13 is flashing on the machine and a red spanner symbol is on all the time, also unable to open machine even after draining it manually... thanks for any help you can offer.

You did not say what machine you have!
F 13 I have is a dispenser circuit error and the causes/procedures are
1 Unplug the washer or disconnect power
2 Check the mechanical linkage from the motor to the top of the dispenser
3 Check the wire harness to the dispenser motor and the central control unit
4 Check the dispenser motor for powered rotations

Replace faulty components

If there is a spanner symbol lit it means you need to call a repairman.

I have a Frigidare washer/dryer combo (model # FLEB8200DS0). My wife washed a heavy load and the washer stopped draining completely. Agitator works fine. Please HELP...

I'm not sure if the heavy load had anything to do with it or not. this unit has a remote pump, which means the pump doesn't run off of the main belt . It actually has a motor of it's own. Basically you would have to remove the front access panel, of course unplug from power, make sure the pump will turn. with the power off you can rotate the cooling fins on the pump motor. if it turns freely then you would have to determine if the pump motor is getting power. If it is getting power then you need to replace the motor.

My daughter put a big blanket int he washer. it started and then after a few minutes it stopped. I had to untangle the blanket after the motor stop working. now it will not even turn on. I am thinking

Hi, When the washer is in spin mode, do you hear the motor running at all. It could be the lid switch has broke. I do not believe it will be a motor.
To test the lid switch, Remove the screws located on the back of the control panel on each end.
Lift the control panel and let it rest on the hinges. The lid switch is located to the left and has a three wire harness. Unplug the washer before you unplug the harness and put an insulated wire between the two gray wires (not the green stipe wire)
If you can jump this, turn the timer back into spin cycle and see if it starts.
Please let me know if it helps or if I can assist you further.

Kenmore Series 80 top loading washer that doesn't spin or agitate

Unplug machine, remove water pump and motor, behind the motor is a coupler, take broken parts to your local appliance parts store. Costs 16 bucks, replace the broken parts with new ones, reassemble machine. Never ever do a blanket/comforter in your machine again!!

Fault f13

Hi. F13 indicates dryer fan motor or thermistor problem
If you can't hear the fan motor running on the dry cycle then it is probably faulty.
Hope this helps.
Please feedback.
Thanks
